I am playing music in my shop from my free plan/paid subscription on Spotify/ YouTube. Do I still need a COMPASS Public Performance licence?

Yes, you will still need a COMPASS Public Performance licence. Nearly all publicly available digital music streaming and download services are limited to personal, domestic and non-commercial use. Any subscription fees you might have paid for covers only personal and private use. The same applies for CDs and other storage media you may have bought. You may refer to your end-user agreement with the streaming and download service for details.
